  1. As long as transmission capacity is not expanded, yes.
    2
  2. That is the plan, but it takes time to expand transmission capacity
    2
  3. Wind and solar ARE firm sources of clean energy.

  4. That is exactly what the video says. It just takes time.

  5.  @ericeandco  Where have you been?

  6. Local batteries are simply tied in with the grid.

  7. Dynamic tariffs don’t exist in the USA?

  8.  @MRSketch09  I am referring to an energy contract that has variable rates through the day depending on net load and availability of energy. This is pretty normal where I live.

  9. Sure, but that requires transmission capacity

  10. "the real TRUTH" 😂

  11. Very inefficient

  12. These batteries will easily pay back for itself within that period.

  13. Did you watch the video?
    1
  14.  @farquadshmoogle9120  Batteries are mentioned.
    1
  15.  @farquadshmoogle9120  That is exactly what is happening

  16. Lack of transmission capacity, as mentioned in the video.

  17. If solar panels do not shut off in time in cases of over supply, voltage and frequency gets too high resulting - in the worst case - in power loss.

  18. A lot more renewable than fossil fuels
    1
  19.  @syzyphyz  As long as it isn’t burned it is at least a lot more renewable depending on the recycling abilities.

  20. You can’t execute the energy transition overnight.

  21. More like a couple of decades

  22. Wrong. It is perfectly solvable. More transmission capacity + batteries + dynamic EV charging will fix it and this is currently happening all over Europe including Germany.
    1
  23. Just use it to charge your EV for free…
    1
  24. Because there is a huge shortage of transmission capacity…

  25. No lies at all. Just poor reporting. The main problem is lack of transmission capacity. Without it you cannot transport the electricity to the water pumps, the hydrogen factory or other states.

  26. Not true. For day to day balancing current battery technology is very capable. Price is coming down massively too.
    1
  27.  @alsmith1776  Yes. Reality literally proves you wrong.
    1
  28. And a transmission problem
    1
  29. Exactly!
    1
  30. Are you telling me this doesn’t exist yet in the USA?
    1
  31. Ever heard of CO2?
    1
  32.  @patrickhall3878  Only a tiny fraction compared to the emissions caused by burning fossil fuels day in day out.
    1
  33.  @patrickhall3878  What is your point? That is perfectly possible.
    1
  34.  @patrickhall3878  Reality simply proves you wrong. Solar is contributing massively to energy production every single day all around the world. Therefore huge amounts of CO2 are prevented from entering the atmosphere and this is only the beginning. And no, natural gas is not clean. Who told you that?!
    1
  35.  @patrickhall3878  How can you think natural gas is clean?! 😂
    1
  36.  @patrickhall3878  Oh the good old Volcano myth. Spoiler alert: it’s not true.
    1
  37.  @patrickhall3878  The solution is all around us: wind, solar and hydro + batteries for day to day storage. Obviously combined with fossil generation to fill the gaps. These gaps have been shrinking every year and will continue to do so. This way CO2 emissions will keep declining. It will take time but many countries are doing great already.

  38. Sure, but very inefficient.
    1
  39. You need transmission capacity for that…
    1
  40. There is no lie. The problem is lack of transmissions capacity.
    1
  41. + transmission capacity
